However, off the back of a busy summer with France at Euro 2016, Pogba believes he is ready to return to the field for his new side.

He said: “We played with some players against Leicester with less training than Paul. It is about your body and I have been training on my holidays”. In this moment t hey are in the building-up process of their form. “He has no need to have time to adapt, but he’ll need time to build his condition and his understanding of how the team plays and how he’ll fit in with that”.

The Red Devils and England’s captain now has a contract that runs out in the middle of 2019, and it’s understood Rooney wants to finish his playing career at Old Trafford, Fox Sports says.

Shaw, who is back to full fitness after a awful leg fracture put him long-term on the sidelines a year ago, is bursting with confidence again and is enjoying life under new Red Devils manager Mourinho. “But to accelerate his integration in the team, for sure”.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has claimed that Paul Pogba acts as if he “never left the club”. I think everything starts there – the relationship between the team and the fans. Everything starts on that relationship between the team and the fans.

Mourinho said: “I don’t comment”.

‘You have to ask the manager but I feel very good and have been training for 10 days.

“He’s been moved around three positions in the last two to three years he now needs to settle into that latter phase of his career position”.
